The film is called "The Sound of Music". It was not made as a biography nor as a documentary on the real-life story of the Von Trapp family. As a work of art, IMO it succeeded in highlighting many of the virtues that we all aspire towards.

It was a movie not a documentary. Movies based on a true story are not always 100% fact. Some things get taken out of the true story and some things get added instead to make the movie more dramatic to please the audience. A documentary is 100% fact.

Kind of like a young woman still in training to be a nun. After she takes her final vows, that's when she becomes a full-fledged nun, called a sister. If you noticed in the movie, the nuns called her "Maria" and never "Sister Maria," and she wore a simpler headdress/wimple than the nuns did, to show her designation as a postulant.

The oldest was Rupert. Fraulein Maria was actually there to teach Maria because she was sick. They went to America as refugees. They lost all their money in Austria. There were actually 10 children. Georg had 7 children with his first wife and when he married Maria he had 3 more with her. The children he had with Maria are still living. The children he had with his first wife have all passed away. She was married to him for 20 years when he passed away. She didn't get married again. She did missionary work.

An endearing story regardless of any lackluster trivia or negative nonsense. In general, it is a story of triumph over adversity and sorrow. One can get a better feel for the story by watching the movie made in 1956. Of course, The Sound of Music made in 1965 is iconic and the perfect tribute to a wonderful family.

Ich habe selten so ein überaus schönes, weises und vor allem liebevolles, altes Gesicht gesehen, als dies hier von unserer bezaubernden Mizzi von Trapp gesehen!

How rude of the lady to say that it doesn't matter really! In other words she only cares about the musical and having a good time having a sing a long, rather than historical accuracy and the lives of the people being portrayed and their feelings and those of their children and grandchildren and the Von Trapps for more generations to come! Glad there are some intelligent and sensitive people like myself, who separate the fact from the fiction and say it's a great musical in its own right but want to know and care about what really happened to the family and what's happening to them and their progeny since?! RIP Ms Von Trapp and the other family members who've passed away too!

That’s all. And most everybody still loves it.

I goes to show how much anyone can influence others with their words and actions. With song, people remember lessons or ways to get close to one another. We can all learn a lot from the lessons in this amazing movie. I think first is that you must try to reach the summit. No one will be a champion by sitting still and doing nothing.

Awesome very touching

The sound of music is absolutely one of my favorite movies! And a great classic. I think it’s a bit insensitive for some to say that it doesn’t matter or who cares if the story isn’t like their real life. Especially when most of them were not trilled with how their father was depicted. It’s their real life if someone retold your entire story with a spin you’d feel some kind of way. So I think that although we long the movie we need to also be sensitive to the fact that they Real People lived a real life that was almost nothing like the movie we love!

Did Maria Von Trapp live in Minnetonka Minnesota before she dieded?

Long life!

Ironically Maria Franziska outlived all of her siblings (the original seven portrayed in SOM), as she not only shared a name with her stepmother but was also the reason why Maria came to the family in the first place. Three of them lived to their 90s: Agathe (Liesl), Maria Franziska (Louisa) and Werner (Kurt). Their half-sister Rosmarie Von Trapp (the first of three children born to the Captain and Maria) is also in her 90s, and their other half-sister Eleonore turns 90 this year.

Movies are always more interesting than the actual story the movie is based on. It is for this reason that millions watch the movie while only thousands watch the documentary based on the same topic. And by the way, what the Von Trapp daughter said about the siblings not wanting their father to marry Maria is portrayed in the movie.

What makes it wonderful is that Maria actually had a bad health, but she could outlive all of her siblings.

This Maria is one of the children by George's 1st wife, and I myself have sometimes referred to her as Maria-the-daughter. She does have a counterpart in the stage show and the movie, but a different name is used to avoid confusion with the Maria we know of in them: the never-to-be-nun who eventually marries Georg.

All of the children's names were changed, partly because one of them was called Maria. They also changed the order by swapping the two oldest around. To avoid confusion I usually refer to the daughter as Maria Franziska. Their real names were Rupert (Friedrich), Agathe (Liesl), Maria Franziska (Louisa), Werner (Kurt), Hedwig (Brigitta), Johanna (Marta), and Martina (Gretl).
